I eat wholefoods, no sugar, no fast food, no junk. I am physically active and I use lots of medical marijuana.I cook with it, make with iced tea with it and also smoke it. I don't take anymore psych meds, haven't for a few years now and I feel much better all the way around. The pot helps me when I can't sleep, it's a good pain reliever and I am fortunate to have a couple of doctors who totally support my use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.

A whole bunch of stuff has helped. I can't think of them all right now, but here's a few:

Sunshine
Exercise
Creative visualization
Volunteer work
Sleep hygiene
Clean diet
Reducing exposure to mass media
Willingness to try new things
Self-acceptance
Neuro Linguistic programming
CBT
DBT
Blame it on me, but know that I won't regret one iota.

The kinda drugs that are illegal :lol: LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, mdma, and marijuana have helped me much more than any psychiatrists have.

Coping skills that help : yoga, high-intensity cardio, art, singing, eating well.

EXERCISE! EXERCISE! EXERCISE!

Music and masturbation. (not at the same time though).

Also, physical exercise and healthy eating. (IE healthy body helps you to have a healthy mind, but can't really fix everything, just helps a bit.)
